Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens

"My name is Luke. I will be dead when you see this diary."

"Friends who have often passed away know that human life is fragile and insignificant. A simple bump, a cold spring rain or an accident can mercilessly take our lives."

"The more people want to live well, the more likely they are to die from various accidents. So I have prepared various methods of resurrection, waiting for my descendants to resurrect me after I die."

In a small room that could only accommodate a table and two chairs, an old man with gray hair and dressed in a classical black robe was reading a diary in the light of a gas lamp.

"Goddess, this... this is such blasphemous knowledge..."

Old Neil's eyes were dull and his cloudy eyes flashed with fear and desire. He couldn't help but read out the contents of the diary.

"There is a special fruit in the Five Seas, called the Devil Fruit. After eating it, you can gain extraordinary powers. Among them is the Yellow Spring Fruit. After eating it, it can make the soul of the dead not disperse and return from the underworld. Please note that the body must be intact, otherwise what is resurrected will be a skeleton."

"We offer a method of resurrection for incomplete bodies, called 'Immortality Reincarnation', a ritual magic lost in distant history. It uses part of the deceased's body as a medium and sacrifices a living person as a container to recall the soul of the deceased, becoming another form of resurrection..."

"If the body has been cremated or has completely decayed due to being stored for too long, there is another special method that can be used in conjunction with it... Human body transmutation!"

"The following is the formula for human body refining: 30 liters of water, 20 kilograms of carbon, 4 liters of ammonia, 1.5 kilograms of lime, 800 grams of phosphorus, 250 grams of salt, 100 grams of saltpeter, 80 grams of sulfur, 7.5 grams of fluorine, 5 grams of iron, 3 grams of silicon, and a small amount of each of the remaining 15 elements. Use the alchemical array to perform an equivalent exchange, but there is a risk of being swallowed by the Gate of Truth..."

These pieces of information, whether true or false, existent or not, made old Neil, who longed to resurrect his wife, tremble slightly and became extremely excited.

There are so many ways to resurrect... but each prerequisite is so difficult... Is this information really reliable?

He was so excited that he didn't realize that as he read, a subtle pollution from the diary gradually invaded his body.

These pollutions covered another layer of shallow pollution, but did not damage his mind and body. They only made him automatically ignore the many unreasonable aspects of the diary content and made him unable to stop reading.

At the same time, from a perspective that ordinary people cannot see, a pair of eyelash-less, cold, and transparent eyes slowly appeared from the void.

The eyes just looked at Old Neil, then suddenly shook, like a mouse smelling cheese, and shifted their gaze to the diary.

The secret, unknown knowledge is what the hidden sages desire, or the favorite of the source element "Wild Knowledge" and the following two paths "Secret Peepers" and "Generalists"!

Completely false knowledge naturally cannot attract the Hidden Sage, but when Luke's true body awakened the golden finger, some of the knowledge in the diary had real weight.

The pair of cold eyes gradually became filled with desire, and they actually looked intently together with Old Neil.

"If the user's moral level is too high, the necromancy spell can be considered to summon the soul of the dead to oneself, achieving a short, repeatable resurrection. Since the spell is determined by nature, the following is a method to change the brain structure after birth."

"The self-cultivation furnace was designed by the village chief Ma of Biyou Village in the Western Continent before the first era, and was improved by the 66th generation of Tianshi of Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion. It can reshape the body and transform body organs at will..."

Endless knowledge was poured into old Neil's mind bit by bit. He flipped through the book like a madman, reading every word carefully until the last page.

"If you find the above methods difficult, we will provide you with a simple and convenient solution with the least prerequisites free of charge."

Old Neil's hoarse voice began to echo in the room.

"The entropy increaser of disorderly expansion."

"The alien god from the other side of the starry sky."

"The division and aggregation of all extraordinary characteristics!"

When Old Neil read out the first word of the honorific name, his eyelash-less, cold eyes immediately sensed something was wrong, but the newly acquired knowledge in his mind went berserk at this moment!

The knowledge that was difficult to digest in a short time beyond the changes quickly spun to form a huge vortex, and began to rapidly attract other knowledge, as if to bring all the knowledge together, which made the consciousness of the indifferent eyes stagnate.

The moment the honorific name was pronounced, the air suddenly became solidified, the spiritual wind blew, and an invisible force attacked Old Neil and his eyes that were unable to escape in the first time!

Old Neil only felt a cool breeze blowing across his body, and his tense spirit was immediately relaxed, with both his body and spirit being baptized at the same time.

In the dark, he seemed to hear a short, rapid howl.

The next second, the room returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Old Neil, who regained his sanity, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a fear when he thought of what had happened recently. It seemed that he was bewitched by the evil god "Hidden Sage" and was preparing a ceremony to resurrect his wife who had passed away many years ago.

He quickly shook his head in fear and tapped his chest four times with his fingers, outlining the moon that symbolized the goddess of night.

"Goddess, I didn't hurt anyone, and I can still make amends."

Old Neil prayed devoutly, lit three candles, used a spiritual dagger to build a closed spiritual wall, took out a series of spiritual materials from under the table, and began to arrange the purification ceremony.

After a moment, deep darkness enveloped the entire room.

Bringing eternal peace and tranquility.

…

Steam train, first class carriage entrance.

Luke handed the ticket in his hand to the conductor and sat down smoothly on the soft and comfortable cushion. He looked in the direction of the Blackthorn Security Company with a smile on his face.

The one that appeared behind Old Neil was naturally not the real body of the "Hidden Sage". It was just a small part of consciousness that could not even be considered a clone, similar to the "Spirit Worm" separated from the high-sequence Fortune Teller's Path. It was used by the "Hidden Sage" to feedback rituals and infuse knowledge.

But no matter what, this is still partly related to the "Hidden Sage".

After the polluted eye returns to the Hidden Sage's body, it will become a mark whose specific location he can sense until he takes it out personally.

The source substance of "wilderness of knowledge" is also quite compatible with Luke. The continuously increasing number of Luke in the shared space represents endless knowledge.

Moreover, the current entity is "change beyond change" and "indescribable unknown", which should be quite attractive to "Wilderness of Knowledge". Their combination should be a win-win situation. It can be imagined that the consciousness of this source substance should not be particularly resistant to Lu Ke.

There was one more way to go, and the smile on Lu Ke's face deepened. He leaned back, sank into the soft armchair, crossed his legs, and relaxed for a rare moment.

Woo~woo~woo~

The whistle of the steam train about to start rang in his ears, and the scenery outside the window passed by quickly. The train drove along the tracks towards Backlund.

…

Backlund, the capital of all cities.

The capital of the Kingdom of Loen was divided diagonally into two parts by the Tussock River, which flowed to the southeast estuary. It was connected by the Backlund Bridge and the ferry. It had a population of over five million and was the most prosperous city in the southern and northern continents.

After taking the train for several hours, Luke arrived in Backlund smoothly at noon.

Most of the buildings here are densely packed houses with the characteristics of the current architecture of the Kingdom of Loen, with polygonal hipped roofs and oriel windows. They are more than one level better than the houses in Tingen and have a British style.

Well, it looked like there was a light mist even at noon.

Lu Ke complained silently in his heart, followed the crowd out of the station, and prepared to rent a house in Queens, where the rich and nobles gathered.

He did not take the carriage directly, but chose to stroll leisurely.

Backlund was in a very deep place. It was a bit of a shame to come here just to digest the Beyonder characteristics and then leave. After all, he was only a Sequence 7 “Magician” who had the ability to digest Beyonder characteristics bestowed by his main body. Even if he didn’t take the initiative to act, he could completely digest it within a month.

Before coming here, he had once again strengthened the aggregation effect on his body through a ritual. Now, when he walked around, it would be easier for him to meet local Beyonders in Backlund, enter the circle where Beyonders gathered, and obtain or snatch Beyonder characteristics that suited his own wishes.

The Beyonder Characteristics that suits one's wishes refer to the Beyonder Characteristics that can melt in one's mouth, or the Beyonder Characteristics that have clear acting methods and can be quickly digested.

For example, a "polymath" who can digest enough occult knowledge instantly, an "occult mentor" who can complete the role by creating a large number of self-created occult arts, a "hunter" who can digest a target just by hunting it down, an "ancient scholar" who has enough historical knowledge to directly prepare for the next sequence, and so on.

"Excuse me, sir."

Just as Luke was thinking about where to find a Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristic that suited him, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

He raised his head slightly and found that he was walking in a slightly remote alley without knowing when, and there were five or six men standing in front of him.

Compared to Tingen's small-time gangs, the gangs that surrounded him were obviously better equipped, more decently dressed, and more polite.

The leader had a gentle smile on his face, "Sir, please leave everything you have with you."

"What will happen if I don't give it to you?"

Luke raised his eyebrows. He had no interest in gangs now. The little money he made was quickly spent. The rich and nobles in Queens still had more money.

"You are free to do so, but we will cut off all the protruding parts of your body."

Lu Ke sighed and was about to take action when a majestic female voice sounded.

"Will, what do you want to do!"

The gang leader's face changed slightly when he heard the voice. "It's the 'Arbitrator'. Let's go!"

Without any hesitation, several strong men immediately retreated far away and turned around and ran away.

"Arbitrator", Hugh?

Lu Ke looked behind him, but he couldn't see the girl at first glance. He lowered his head slightly and noticed that the girl was short, only a little over 1.5 meters tall, with delicate and soft features, and looked a little immature.

She had messy, rough shoulder-length yellow hair and wore a traditional knight's training uniform, but she had an indescribable majesty and a believable charm.

It was indeed Hugh Dilcha, the "Judgement" in the Future Tarot Club.

"Why is it that you always wear formal clothes like this, you look rich at first glance, and you are stupid enough to not know the difference between form and form..."

Xio's tone was filled with dissatisfaction at first, but as he spoke, his eyes stayed on Luke's face. His voice lowered, slowed down, and then became softer, and his eyes showed a little more concern.

"Are you okay, sir? The security on Minsk Street is not very good. It is very dangerous even during the day."

"I'm fine."

Lu Ke blinked, looked at the girl in front of him who was two heads shorter than him, chuckled, took off his hat, placed it in front of his chest, bent down and bowed.

"Thank you very much for your rescue. I have no way to repay you for saving my life."

"You don't have to be so polite."

Luke shook his head seriously, "Use it!"

…

In the bedroom of an apartment, the sunlight became dim through the light-colored curtains, and a simple knight's suit and white shirt were casually thrown on the ground by the owner.

"Wait...wait! Is something wrong?"

Xio, who was a little confused, crossed his arms across his chest with a red face and curled up into a ball. His brain, which was a mess due to hormones, finally reacted. He didn't understand how things suddenly came to this point.

"No."

Luke pressed his muscular body against Xio's, and his 1.9-meter-tall figure hugged Xio's petite body completely, showing the difference in physique clearly. He looked as if it was a matter of course.

"You must repay the favor of saving my life, or do you hate this kind of behavior?"

Although she could ignore the aphrodisiac in Madam Sharon's mansion, her body was still a little restless. Moreover, she had to digest the extraordinary characteristics of the Witch of Pleasure in advance.

He felt that the memories shared by other Lukes were not counted, and their extraordinary characteristics might not be recognized.

Examining the girl's delicate and beautiful body, Luke nodded again to confirm.

Yes, I definitely won’t admit it!

"No, it's not that I hate it, it just feels too..."

Xio's body suddenly stiffened, her beautiful eyes widened and filled with water, and her light pink lips uttered the last two words after a few seconds.

“Soon.”

Lu Ke squinted his eyes with a look of half relief and half regret, and slowly exhaled. He gently stroked Xio's head and waited for the adaptation process, with a gentle tone.

"Unhappy, romantic love always starts with love at first sight. Sometimes when you see someone, you just feel like you can't live without her."

Xio's face flushed, and he felt the powerful beating of the chest behind him with a dazed look in his eyes:

"It sounds like a play or a story. Are you a writer? I have a friend who is a writer, a well-known writer."

"You should get along well with your 'new friend' at a time like this."

Accompanied by a damp sound, Xio bit her lip and straightened her body, her toes curled inward, and sweat oozed out.

…

Nine o'clock at night.

Fors, who habitually used field research as an excuse to delay her writing, came back from the tavern. She came to the door and looked around. After confirming that there was no one there, she stepped forward and strangely passed through the door.

The room was dark, and her friend who always had a regular schedule was unexpectedly not there. Fors was a little puzzled, because usually at this time of day, she would be reading in the living room.

"Xiu, I'm back."

No one responded, she frowned slightly and walked towards Xio's room. Suddenly she heard a slight strange noise. When she was about to open the door, she found it was locked.

"Hugh, are you in there? What's the matter?"

"No...it's okay, don't come in!"

A friend's voice came from the room, but the tone was strange, as if he was holding back. Although the voice was loud, it revealed a sense of weakness.

Fors's face changed, and he immediately walked through the door.

The next second, two exclamations were heard in the room.

"When did you get a boyfriend?!"

"Didn't I tell you not to come in?!"
